Lorraine is a destination for travelers interested in hiking or kloofing. Both are among the main attractions in Sekororo; kloofing takes place in the Olifants River Gorge.

Place name and getting there

Lorraine is also known as Sekororo and lies north of Metz. The place can be reached via Route D21.

If you are looking for accommodation, knowing both names can help you focus your search on the same place.

Find accommodation in Lorraine

Malala Lodge is listed as a lodge in Nkopetji (Lorraine). This gives you a specific accommodation name to consider in your search. Before booking, check whether the lodge is available for your travel dates, and compare the details of the specific offer with your requirements.

Hiking and kloofing

Hiking and kloofing are the two named main attractions in Sekororo. If you are deciding between these interests, you can first consider what kind of activity you want to shape your trip around. Kloofing has a specific sequence described, while hiking is named as a separate activity focus. This lets you make your choice based on your interests before deciding on the other steps in your travel plans.

Kloofing in Sekororo follows a series of seven pools and waterfalls or slides. This sequence makes the nature of the route an important consideration when planning. The terrain can be difficult, and ropes may be involved. Before taking part, check the current local conditions and access; also assess whether the requirements suit your abilities. The route description and your assessment of the conditions should therefore both inform your decision.
